When THE DEMON TREE defeats a character, look at
your opponent's hand and discard a copy of the
defeated character. (*) Discard THE DEMON TREE while
you control any Good characters.
The problem with The Demon Tree is that he doesn't
fit in any theme deck. That said, his ability is
quite interesting as he creates hand disruption,
hand knowledge, and can stop opponents from saving
the conventional way.
His colors seem to be ones that are the most common
as well, and looks easy to defeat. The deck cost is
also quite high, and he can't work with Good
characters which severly limits the decks he can be
in. On the other hand, you can splash him in a few
decks and he might be somewhat useful. Possibly
Kaitou worthy against certain decks that rely more
on the hand to save than the board (like Chibi with
Kagome, Kagura Hidden, or Tenseiga).
Knowledge of the hand is also good too. But overall,
he's more overlooked because he's doesn't seem to
fit in anything to make him useful enough to play.

Okay, this guy doesn't like "Inuyasha, Enraged
Demon" that we reviewed earlier this week.
Otherwise, I'm looking at this guy carefully. I can
see what he can do by destroying the opponent's
options of saving characters. I can see that he has
a huge deck cost for color's you see on 2 and 3 cost
characters. I can see he has an annoying negative
effect.
Let me see here. Early game, you won't get his
effect too often. Mid game, you may nail a character
every now and then. Late game, when the hands are
getting big and the decks are getting small, you may
just begin getting a character every turn....
That is if your opponent let's this guy see the
light of day for that long.
Casual: 2/5 - He can see some fun use here. Why not?
Tournament: 1/5 - We have much better Evil Demons we
can waste card spots on.
Art: 2/5 - It's The Demon Tree. That's all. Nothing
fantastic.

Discard THE DEMON TREE
while you control any Good characters.
With Decent colors (7 black, 3 red, 5 purple) The
Demon Tree is not a bad
choice in a deck with no good characters. His deck
cost may seem high, but
his effect makes him worth playing. With most decks
running 4-6 copies of
each character, having more than one copy of a
character in play is rare,
especially early in the game. When the Demon tree
defeats a character, it
will most likely take the only other copy of that
character in your
opponents hand and discard it. Now, the only way to
save the character that
was defeated is by effects. (Events or Kaitou). You
also get to look at your
opponent's hand. While you only get to discard the
affected character, you
can also get a heads up on what you opponent has and
will likely play next.
This combos well with other hand disruption cards
such as:
Demon Tree Fruit: Attach only to a Demon. At the
start of Recovery, your
opponent discards a card from his hand.
Look I got one: Play when you steal a jewel shard.
Look at your
opponent's hand and choose a card. Your opponent
discards that card. (*)
Limit 3 copies per deck.
Hand disruption is not as big in Inuyasha as in
other games *yugioh* ;) but
with The Demon Tree, It gets a big help.
Casual: 2/5 your opponent will probably be playing
many copies of different
characters so this won't help as much
Tournament: 4/5 Players need to keep their hands
full and their characters
on the field. Take away that saving power!
Art: 2/5 Watch out! It's a giant rose bush!!
Whew... that took a while! hope this helps. thanks
again for allowing me to
do this. it is a real privilege!

The
Demon Tree
a card with very little support today, but none the
less a rare card. why you may ask. reason why it
fits into the demon hand control archtype, which can
leave an opponent with very little options early
game. this card is a weaker hand control card, but
still has good stats. with 7-3-5 for a 4 DC, he
could be seen as too expensive an investment, but
its effect can hurt depending on the decktype. it
prevents the chances of saving or powering up by
discarding the extra copy. it can also hurt if you
manage to use an effect to kill that character
through a card effect, because they have to
essentially pay the deck cost again. worth running
4-5 in the demon hand control archtype
3.6/5 based on ok playability

Card Text:

The Demon Tree is a decent card with some good
colors. He is a little weak in Red and can be
defeated pretty easy that way. If you plan to run
any good characters in your deck, forget about using
The Demon Tree. Lossing a character on your side of
the field is usually never a good thing.
The Demon Tree has an awesome effect if your plan it
control your opponents hand. When you defeat a
character with The Demon Tree you get to look at the
opponent's hand. This allows you to know just what
they have in store for you further in the match. Not
only that but you get to discard a copy of the
defeated character from their hand if they have it.
This can prevent them from saving it during recovery
phase and giving you a character advantage, not to
mention one less character in their hand for them to
play next turn.
The Demon Tree deck cost is high, but to know what
your opponent has in his hand is well worth the
cost.
Casual: 3 / 5 - Good to beat down your opponent
Tournament: 3 / 5 - Seeing the cards in the
opponent's hand always helps you in a tournament
Art: 2 / 5 - Not much of a picture, just looks like
a bunch of weeds in my opinion.

Chibi stopper, I think so. This card when used on
Kagome, Chibi makes life a lot more difficult for
that deck. Kagome, Chibi saves two other chibis, but
if she isn't there, she can't save them. Its effect
basically explains what to do and how to use it.
They have a character out there that is almost
impossible to beat? Don't let them save them then,
so attack with this card and defeat it if possible
and discard the extra copy in their hand. Only
should be used in Demon or Decking decks, otherwise
this card does not serve to much purpose.

Tournament 4/5

The
Demon Tree
Deck Cost: 4
7 Black
3 Red
5 Purple
Demon, Evil, Unique
When The Demon Tree defeats a character, look at
your opponent’s hand and discard a copy of the
defeated character. Discard The Demon Tree while you
control any Good characters.
A very underrated card. It boasts good stats and an
effect that can be potentially game breaking.
Unless the opponent is running some kind of swarm
deck, it is unlikely that he will have multiple
copies of a certain character in his hand after
having played a copy of that particular one,
especially if that character is a Unique. Even if
the opponent does have an additional copy of the
defeated character, The Demon Tree’s effect will at
least nearly ensure that the character will not stay
in play nearly as long as he normally would have.
The effect contributes to hand manipulation but more
importantly, it has a great chance of contributing
to character advantage. In this game, character
advantage is huge since it gives a much greater
chance of winning shard battles by possibly granting
more attack opportunities.
Good stats, an effect that contributes to hand
manipulation and possibly character advantage,
what’s not to like?
Overall Rating: 4/5
